So I work for a large bank in the United States. Me and my coworkers always joke that whenever something bad or inconvenient happens it’s the CEOs fault. Though it’s just a running joke it got me thinking, on a day to day basis what does a CEO actually do? I get the “Chief Executive Officer” nomenclature means they more than likely make executive decisions but what does that look like? Are they at their desk signing papers all day? Death by meeting?
Edit: Holy crap thanks for all the answers I feel like this sub always pulls through when I have a weird question. Thanks guys!

Death by meeting, which includes assault by PowerPoint. Talking to customers and asking good questions. Reading, including industry news, social media, and briefs prepared by staff. Memorizing things, like talking points for meetings. Preparing for speeches and important meetings, in particular by learning about the people who will be there. Going through numbers with the CFO. Signing things in consultation with the CLO.
